Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 1133: 287: Wedding Surprise

Seeing that Shangguan Xi no longer refused, Ni Cuihua also sighed with relief. "Xiaoxi, even though you are about to get married, you must remember, this will always be your home, we will always be your family. If Chen Jun ever dares to bully you, just come back and tell us. No matter when, we will always be your strongest support!"

The saying that "a married daughter is like spilled water" does not apply here at Ni Cuihua’s.

In her early life, she suffered from favoritism towards males over females, and now she absolutely won’t allow her daughter to endure such injustice.

"Mm, mom, I know, thank you," Shangguan Xi said, holding back tears which once again started to flow.

Before Ni Cuihua married into the family, Shangguan Xi had heard colleagues and friends talk about the tale of the wasp’s tail and the stepmother’s heart.

Initially, she was somewhat uneasy.

Later, she realized she had been worrying unnecessarily.

With Ni Cuihua, she felt the long-lost maternal love and experienced the warmth that a home should have, something she had never truly experienced before.

"Mom, thank you!" Shangguan Xi hugged Ni Cuihua.

"Silly child, what are you thanking mom for?" Ni Cuihua patted Shangguan Xi’s back gently. "It’s getting late. You need to get up early tomorrow, so go to sleep soon."

"Mm," Shangguan Xi nodded.

After Ni Cuihua left, Shangguan Xi opened her passbook, and was shocked by the number on it—the passbook actually had a seven-figure savings!

Ni Cuihua was a good mother. Her food factory currently had very stable monthly earnings, which she divided into two parts, giving one part to Adelle and one to Shangguan Xi.

The future money was all set aside for other children; she never favored one over another.

Ni Cuihua went to the room, and just as Shangguan Dehui came out of the bathroom, he asked, "Daya, where have you been?"

Ni Cuihua walked to the vanity to remove her makeup. "I went to chat with Xiaoxi for a while."

"Oh," Shangguan Dehui nodded, pulled back the quilt to get into bed. "Time flies so quickly! In my memory, Xiaoxi is still a little toddler who can’t even walk steadily, and now she’s about to get married!"

Ni Cuihua smiled, "You’ve gotten old too."

Shangguan Dehui was stunned, "Aren’t you also old?"

Ni Cuihua turned to look at Shangguan Dehui, "I am younger than you by several years, don’t you know that?"

Shangguan Dehui said, "What does it matter if you are younger? In the end, you still married me."

Ni Cuihua: "..." She never realized before, Shangguan Dehui could be so skilled with his words; she had always thought of him as a polite scholar.

Soon after Ni Cuihua left, Ni Yang also arrived at Shangguan Xi’s room.

"Sister Xiaoxi."

"Yangyang," Shangguan Xi sniffed and got off the bed.

Ni Yang smiled, "Sister Xiaoxi, you don’t need to get up, I’ll just sit for a bit and then leave."

With that, Ni Yang continued, "Sister Xiaoxi, you’re going to be a bride tomorrow. How are you feeling? Are you excited?"

Shangguan Xi gestured slightly, "A little bit excited."

But more than that, she was reluctant to leave this home.

Ni Yang handed the gift she had prepared to Shangguan Xi, "Sister Xiaoxi, this is my wedding gift to you. Do you like it?"

Shangguan Xi took the gift box, opened it, and covered her mouth in surprise.

Inside the box lay a complete set of diamond jewelry, shining under the light with a dazzling spectrum of colors.

"Yangyang, this gift is too precious."

Shangguan Xi, being a genuine socialite, of course knew the value of the diamond set was not insignificant; just the diamond on the necklace alone was about five carats.

Diamonds signify eternity and are indestructible, making them a very meaningful wedding gift.

Ni Yang raised an eyebrow and countered, "Can it be more precious than the sisterly affection between you and me?"

"Thank you Yangyang, I really like it!"

"Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to bring, Sister Xiaoxi, wait for me."

Before Shangguan Xi could react, Ni Yang had already disappeared towards the doorway.

Shortly after, Ni Yang returned holding two red paper bags, "Sister Xiaoxi, this is also for you."

"What is this?" Shangguan Xi asked.

"Just open it and you’ll see."

Shangguan Xi opened the paper bags, and was shocked again. Inside the boxes in the two paper bags were all gold jewelry.

Gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold earrings... altogether weighing more than twenty pounds.
